  • Abstract:
    Pine bark is used as a dietary supplement and phytochemical remedy for several diseases. A comprehensive characterization of the bioactive compounds using advanced and powerful techniques as HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS and their antioxidant capacity are crucial in food supplement studies. A total of 37 compounds were identified belonging to various structural classes being the most representative ones flavan-3-ols (oligomeric forms). Moreover, the extract showed antioxidant activity decreasing the generation of ROS and high values were obtained by TPC and flavan-3-ol content assays.
